I'm not sure if this piece was ever given an official designation. I've always called it the "Lawgiver Pump", but it's one of my favorite pieces of many from the Stallone version of JUDGE DREDD. Many years ago now I was gifted by my friend Mike Mancini two fiberglass pulls made for the production but never completed.
When it arrived it looked like this:
I knew I'd have my work cut out for me as it was missing a lot of parts and the two halves had been sanded down way too much to be the correct width and the pump slide was actually from the James Remar Block War shotgun (another piece I'd love to build) but it's inclusion was enough to let me know how far apart I'd have to shim the two fiberglass pieces to get the body the correction dimension.
So, that determined I was able to go ahead and scratch build the rest. Here's where it is now. I've figured out a way to make the slide work, and only have to mold the trigger, the muzzle, and some smaller greeblies not seen here. I can't wait to get it all finished. Should make an excellent companion piece to my other JUDGE DREDD pieces.
